I’ll Target Your Social Ads Right!

I’m not going to be using Facebook or Instagram to target CEOs anytime soon.

I’ll be using Facebook / Instagram and its scarily detailed demographics searching to look for your target audience in a certain age range looking for the products or services you offer.

Facebook & Instagram will allow us to run many little tests in our first few months together.

Naturally, some won’t perform very well, but I’m looking for 2 or 3 that are ‘home runs’. From there, I’ll scale up the audience knowing you have the magic formula.

There are many ways we will approach your Facebook & Instagram Advertising campaign, but unless we are targeting the right audience then it will be a disaster. Here is a rundown of how we can scale your marketing on Facebook / Instagram to optimise results:

Scaling Your Campaign

Custom: Using your customer database, I will upload phone numbers, email addresses, Facebook user IDs, and app user IDs. That information will then be matched to as many user profiles as possible.

Lookalike: Now that I have a picture of your customer database, Facebook & Instagram can find similar users to open up a whole new set of potential customers.

Location, Location, Location: This is important, especially for a local business. Ads will specifically target a region, city, state, or country that can purchase your products or services.

Age, Gender, Language: Unless you’re targeting kids from 1 to 92, honing in on the right age, gender, and native language of users is important to effective marketing. Luckily, this is easy to do on Facebook & Instagram.

Detailed Targeting: This approach is used to target new customers or people who’ve never heard of your business before. It involves demographics, interests, behaviours, and other categories.

STEP 1: GETTING TO KNOW YOU

Before we get started, I need to understand exactly who we're trying to target, what they might be interested in and how they might respond to certain things. It's unlikely you'll know exact answers but it's just to give me a starting point

STEP 2: SAMPLE ADS

You need to feel comfortable. It's vital that you are happy with the language we're using, the ad copy and the images I’m using. Sometimes odd combinations and weird, out of the box ideas are the most effective but I'll never run anything against your wishes. Once approved...

STEP 3: START RUNNING ADS

I will get going as soon as possible, then add more campaigns over the coming days. The idea behind this is to get you used to the traffic, the email volume and the level of enquiries. It's no good us turning the traffic tap on max when you're struggling to handle the first lot of enquiries.

STEP 4: ONGOING REVISIONS

There's a concept called ``ad blindness``. It's where you see the same ad again and again and as a result, you start to tune it out. It might even help you massively and be exactly what you're looking for but for whatever reason, your brain ignores it.

STEP 5: GOING FORWARD

Over time, I'll start to notice which types of ads, markets, platforms and targeting is actually producing customers. You never know this from day 1. Eventually I can start shutting down the ads that aren't as effective at producing customers and double down on the ones that are. Oddly enough, sometimes you can have very well performing ads that just attract tyrekickers. On paper, it's great but in reality, they don't pay. On the other hand, you can have a badly performing ad that actually filters people out, leaving only the very interested people clicking. An example of this, is called ``price filtering``. It's where you put a price in the ad. Anyone not prepared to spend any money will not bother clicking saving you a click from someone who wasn't ever going to buy anyway.

Enough about me and what I can do.
Let’s talk about what you want from your campaign.
